Setting the value of a controlled TextInput breaks when autocorrect suggestion present

[mhoran]

On iOS, something wonky happens when the value of a TextInput is programmatically modified (via setState and the value property of said TextInput) and an autocorrect suggestion is present.

The value of the text input ends up being set to the combination of the autocorrect suggestion and the programmatic value. This only happens when multiline={true}. When multiline={false}, all is fine.

This seems only to be reproducible on iOS. I was not able to reproduce on the Snack iOS simulator. This can be reproduced using the software keyboard in the Snack iOS simulator with multiline={true}. The Snack iOS simulator does not reproduce with multiline={false}, but this does reproduce on a device.

React Native version: 0.59-0.76

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start the reproducer: https://snack.expo.dev/@mhoran/trusting-peanut
2. Type "Yo mh" and wait for the auto-correct suggestion of "my"
3. Click "Bananas!"
4. Notice that the value set programmatically will become a combination of the autocorrect value and the programmatic value.

Describe what you expected to happen:

I expected the value to be set to "Yo mhoran".
